It ussually doesn't matter exactly how strong they are, but what you are going

If you are going to play them, then they are all TOO STRONG, and they'll thrash
you all time.

If you want them for analysis, training, run as a server on ICC - then there are
different features you might be after, not necessarily the strongest.

Strong against humans or against computers is also a different question.

Have you atleast started with crafty and winboard (both open source) to get an
idea of what features you might want.
